Top 30 College Drop-outs in History

WHAT KEEPS YOU HUNGRY, STRIVING?


I've been to 5 colleges, yup, 5. +Laney College , +Vista College , +Fresno City College , 
+Berklee College of Music , and  +UC Berkeley 

Occasionally I guilt trip myself for being the ONLY one in hundreds of members of my family to not have multiple degrees, but this Article confirms my path.

Check out some other cats who have done good without the University Stamp of Approval.

My theory on why? 

If there is no plan B, Success is the only option!
